## Controls

### XEMU-CHIHIRO

RetroBat configures the Chihiro controls automatically for the games supported by xemu-chihiro:

<table><thead><tr><th width="152.75">Type</th><th>Games</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Lightgun</td><td>The House of the Dead III, Virtua Cop 3, Ghost Squad</td></tr><tr><td>Driving</td><td>Crazy Taxi High Roller, OutRun 2, Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune 2</td></tr><tr><td>Other</td><td>Ollie King, Gundam Battle Operating Simulator</td></tr></tbody></table>

{% hint style="info" %}

* Only the **player 1 controller** (the first controller in EmulationStation) is used for the game controls. Player 2 has **Start / Coin on the keyboard** only, except in the lightgun games with two guns.
* **Test** (`0`) and **Service** (`9`) are always on the keyboard.
* To use your own mapping, set **AUTOCONFIGURE CONTROLLERS** to OFF and configure the controls in xemu-chihiro.
  {% endhint %}

#### Gamepad (player 1)

The buttons use the Xbox names (A = bottom button). With a Nintendo layout pad, enable **INVERT FACE BUTTONS** (Controls) to swap A/B and X/Y.

**System buttons (all games)**

<table><thead><tr><th width="202.75">Gamepad</th><th>Function</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Start</td><td>Start</td></tr><tr><td>Back / Select</td><td>Coin</td></tr><tr><td>B</td><td>Card In (card games: one press inserts the card, Maximum Tune ejects it on a second press)</td></tr></tbody></table>

The game-specific keys are the xemu-chihiro defaults (for example Space for the Virtua Cop 3 pedal and the Ghost Squad weapon change, W A S D + arrows for Gundam). They can be changed in the xemu-chihiro input menu.

#### Lightgun games

Xemu-chihiro reads each mouse or lightgun separately: with two guns, each player has their own gun.

| Gun                  | The House of the Dead III | Virtua Cop 3            | Ghost Squad             |
| -------------------- | ------------------------- | ----------------------- | ----------------------- |
| Trigger (left click) | Fire                      | Fire                    | Fire                    |
| Right click          | Gun button                | Gun button              | Gun button              |
| Middle click         | –                         | Pedal (take cover)      | Weapon change           |
| Reload               | Aim off-screen and fire   | Aim off-screen and fire | Aim off-screen and fire |

* **Start / Coin**: keyboard `1` / `5` for player 1, `2` / `6` for player 2 (most lightguns can send these keys).
* **RELOAD WITH BUTTON**: for guns that cannot shoot off-screen. The middle click reloads, and the pedal / weapon change moves to the keyboard (`Q` for player 1, `S` for player 2).
* **INVERT TRIGGER/RELOAD**: swaps the left and right clicks.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Wiimote with a DolphinBar**: Start / Coin are on the Wiimote D-pad. See Wiimote & DolphinBar.
{% endhint %}

#### Wheels and force feedback

A wheel used as player 1 controller drives with the same bindings as a gamepad (steering, pedals, paddles on RB / LB). Options in **Wheels**:

<table><thead><tr><th width="309">Option</th><th>Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>ENABLE FORCE FEEDBACK</td><td>Drive board force feedback (OutRun 2, Maximum Tune), on a wheel or as gamepad rumble</td></tr><tr><td>FORCE FEEDBACK STRENGTH</td><td>Strength of the effects</td></tr><tr><td>INVERT FORCE FEEDBACK</td><td>Enable if the wheel is pushed away from the center instead of toward it</td></tr><tr><td>WHEEL ROTATION</td><td>Degrees of rotation for full lock (270 = arcade cabinet)</td></tr><tr><td>WHEEL AUTO-CENTER / AUTO-CENTER STRENGTH</td><td>Centering spring while the game does not send force feedback</td></tr></tbody></table>

### CXBX

Controls must be set up directly in CXBX-Reloaded emulator in `\emulators\cxbx-reloaded` folder.

<div align="left"><figure><img src="https://i.imgur.com/W2oGLGE.png" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

For Teknoparrot, controls are managed in a similar way to other Teknoparrot games: [details here](/systems-and-emulators/supported-game-systems/arcade/teknoparrot.md#controls)

## Specific system information

### ROMs

#### XEMU-CHIHIRO

Xemu-Chihiro requires game roms in bin format, this tool can be used to convert a MAME recent romset file into the required format:

{% embed url="<https://github.com/Tovarichtch/chihiro-netboot>" %}

#### CXBX

Chihiro roms come in the form of a folder containing multiple files including .xbe files.

The game folder must be placed in the `\roms\chihiro` folder.

<div align="left"><figure><img src="https://i.imgur.com/K61I22N.png" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

Usually the .xbe file ending with t (e.g.`vc3_t.xbe`) is used to run the test menu.

### Test menu

The Test menu contains options that can be adjusted within the game itself, such as aligning the crosshair for lightgun games and changing the difficulty.&#x20;

* **On xemu-chihiro**: access the test menu with 9 and 0 on your keyboard
* **On cxbx**: run the .xbe file ending with "t" to enter the test menu.

### Use Cerbios firmware (XEMU)

Download the Cerbios firmware and rename it 'Cerbios.bin', place it in the retrobat\bios folder.

In RetroBat advanced options for xemu, select the firmware:

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://wiki.retrobat.org/systems-and-emulators/supported-game-systems/arcade/sega/sega-chihiro.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
